Apologies; that should be "VPN's" (Virtual Private Network). That said,
you'll have the same problem with connecting VNC's (Virtual Network
Connection) as well if you have dhcp address conflict issues.

No. Your device is both a modem and router/firewall. In my case I use a
distinct DSL modem (Speedstream 5100b) and set it to bridge mode and let
my router (Cisco/Linksys BEFVP41) do the rest.

Pretty simple to do. I don't think you have more than 2-5 systems, so
write down the IP address for each on a piece of paper and then add the
appropriate addresses in your file.

Could very well be. I've not checked the apparmor bug list lately, but
last I did apparmor was creating havoc with cups and cups-pdf. I finally
just got disgusted with the "feature" and purged it from all my systems.
Check the buglist for apparmor to see if it may be causing problems for
you.

I'd also check your setup if you are having share print problems. Change
your links to your newly established fixed IP's and unless you've
screwed something up all should work just fine. If you still have
problems printing from one to another, just use IPP instead. So for
instance if your target printer is on 192.168.2.100, in the Device URI
enter:

ipp://192.168.2.100:631/printers/<printername>

Well *don't*. Just get your stuff working *first* and then if you want
to screw it up with a 'learning' process do so. But at least get it
working normally *first*.

No. Then will automagically appear on the desktop as soon as you finish

kbuntuntu list is that-a-way ===> :-) Sorry I only use Gnome.
